The _only_ processors which will suffer a performance slowdown as a

65%.

0 slowdown for the Meltdown fix.

2.5% slowdown for the Spectre fix in one of three benchmarks. Belying
what you say above. So your "credentials" are decaying quick.

Not clear if the fix will be "improved" in 10.13.3 (the next update) and
whether that will impact CPU.

Mac OS is already a slow piece of poop that caters to the dumbest
elements of society so I doubt that any of the retards using it would
notice a slowdown of their slow as molasses operating system no matter
how significant it was.

That's just bad math. If something is slow, then a percentage slowdown
is much more noticeable than the same percentage slowdown on a faster
machine.

What in particular is slower about Mac OS?

BTW, Mac OS is generally used by people with higher educational
achievement as well as higher income brackets. But then ...
